About our floor joint sealing in Rigside
Few warehouses can shut a whole floor while joints are done, so we phase the work aisle by aisle or bay by bay. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them so the rest of the operation keeps going. We work on joints along racking aisles, saw-cut induced joints and construction joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are failing joints at loading bays and dock doors and scruffy, dirty joint lines on a shop or showroom floor. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Rigside from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For floor or movement joints around smaller places like Rigside, we plan to finish in one visit where we can. Send photos, joint widths and details of the traffic first.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What else we do in Rigside
Common problems we fix in Rigside
Floor joints collect dust, oil, curing compound and cleaning residue. Without cutting back to sound, clean concrete the new filler can’t stay bonded.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Cracked and crumbling joint fill
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
- Loading bay joints breaking down
- Soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints
For an estate such as Lady Home Hospital, which lies south-west of Rigside, the joints in ramps, decks and long building elevations all need attention over time.
Comparing quotes
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Proof of insurance
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
Rigside: questions and answers
Is Rigside too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Rigside is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Lady Home Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you guarantee industrial floor joints?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and the work is covered by public liability insurance.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Which is better for warehouse joints, filler or sealant?
We decide joint by joint. Where hard wheels cross, a semi-rigid filler is normally right and perimeter or movement joints need flexibility. The quote sets out what goes where.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Surface by surface
Isolation joints at walls and columns
Joints around columns and along walls let the slab move without cracking against the structure. Something flexible normally suits them, not a stiff filler.
Semi-rigid joint fillers
Semi-rigid fillers are designed to support joint edges under hard wheels. They tolerate little movement, so they suit joints where most shrinkage has already happened.
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The size and state of each joint
- Phasing around occupants
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Any specification or named product
- The site address and postcode
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us.

Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep photographs of joints that look like they’re failing
- Check joint lines on busy aisles regularly
- Keep grit out of unfilled joints in the meantime
- Treat loading bay joints first if they’re failing
Dragged forks and pallets gouge joints and edges alike. Even a well-filled joint can be damaged by steel scraping along it.
Joints are easiest to look after when someone checks them regularly. A phased plan, worst routes first, spreads the work out and keeps on top of the rest.
